Our President, John Skinner says: I have set up a small outline of fundamentals that I stole from my Popular Mechanics book and am asking for your assistance in making this a great workshop. Each Presenter will give short presentation (30 minutes +-) of each subject below if possible. Not much of a dictator but... here's the assignments.
Lunch will be BBQ again. Raffle & show/tell with regular business meeting.
As always your help is much appreciated.
